UK-based checkout finance platform provider Divido has ‘strengthened’ its senior leadership team with the appointment of Gareth “Gaz” Lloyd-Owen as its Chief Product Officer. He will be tasked with the development of Divido’s white-label platform.

He aims to grow Divido’s platform and drive excitement around the product for the benefit of both the company and its customers.

On joining Divido, Gaz said, “At its heart, Divido is solving an important consumer financing problem that is becoming even more prevalent in this challenging economic environment. I can’t wait to work with our brilliant customers and wonderful minds at Divido to create robust, scalable, and beautiful experiences that customers and consumers love.”

Todd Latham, CEO, added, “I am tremendously excited to have Gaz join the team. He brings with him deep experience in building embedded lending products, and excellent product management capabilities, and is very aligned with the values and vision that we have at Divido. His appointment will help us to deliver better value to our customers as we build the world’s most advanced retail finance platform.”

Divido’s ‘highly configurable and secure’ white-label platform allows merchants to offer consumers credit at the point of sale, with finance underwritten by an ecosystem of lenders including Novuna, Nordea, and HSBC. The platform powers retail finance journeys for over 1,000 retailers worldwide.
